Housing activity in the Saint John region continues to exceed what happened a year ago with sales last month up by 12 per cent. Sales for the year have increased by more than 3 per cent.

Remax realtor Dave Cochrane says more homes are coming on the market and a lot of money has been spent buying them……..$300 million so far this year from Sussex to St. Stephen.

On average, the average price of a home has risen in the the past year by something like $6 thousand to more than $187 thousand.
